Smell Test

Thank you for the cold air comments. I used to live up north and the cold air was great when I had breathing problems. Now retired (I use the term loosely, it's driving me nuts)in Florida any time I get in a AC draft or fan I go nuts coughing and trying to get out of it. I used to come down to visit my kids and nothing happened didn't even need to take my meds. But it's the asthma. Since the hurricanes any little breeze that comes through will leave something. I told my doctor that next time something comes through just put it in an envelope and send it to me and save me a trip. There are a lot of folks here and in the entire gulf coast that have picked up all kinds of good things that the storms brought in and are now in full bloom after a couple of years. Thank you all of the country's that the storms passed through. But the cold air thing is just a boon on the side. Boy are we lucking.

Nice writing.

It is a hard subject. I have relatives who to one degree or another who have suffered from the nastiness of the disease. Fortunately, as they grew older the attacks grew fewer and the symtems less severe.
